SANGITA MUKTHAVALI is a very rare musical work in DEVANAGARI

script authored by DEVANACHARYA, who adorned the court of

PROUDHA DEVARAYA of the great VIJAYA NAGARA Empire in 15th

century CE. Much detail is not available about him and his patroniser, as he

was not an able administrator and reigned for a short period only since he

was the last ruler of SANGAMA dynasty of Vijayanagara Empire.

DEVANACHARYA has also authored another work called “SMRITHI

CHANDRIKA” which deals with philosophical matters. He introduces

himself as “THOWRYATRIKA CHINTAMANI” ie. a fine thinker in the

field of Dance and the student of Rudra Deva. Though the word SANGITA

SHASTRA signifies music and Dance in general, this work mainly discuss

about Dance, leaving the subject of music untouched.

The Sanskrit work SANGITA MUKTAVALI unearthed from the great

treasure of Saraswathi Mahal Library and this is a humble attempt to give a

commentary for the same in English.

After explaining about the 32 elements of Classical dances, the author

illustrates the appropriate characters person for the dance. In this illustration,

the author was explaining the major qualities of a dancer. He gives

importance for the female dancers. She will represent the main character of

a dance performance.

The Evolution of Rāgānga as a mode of

classification of Hindustani rāgas Dr. Ananya Kumar Dey

Assistant Professor, Hindustani Vocal Music, Dept. of Music

University of Delhi, Delhi Keys to read the notes

Shuddha (basic) svaras (first letter in capital) - Sa, Re, Ga etc. Komal (flat) svaras (in small letters) - re, ga, dha & ni Tivra (sharp) madhyam (vertical line above) - m|a Mandra (lower) svaras (written in bold) - Ni,Dha, Pa etc. Tāra (higher) svaras (shown in italics) - Re, ga, m|a etc. Introduction: Rāgānga or ‘Rāgānga-paddhati’ (the system of Rāgānga) is a cornerstone of the concept of ‘Rāga’ in Hindustani classical music. It plays an extremely indispensable role in the existence of the Hindustani rāgas. While we know that rāgas arise out of parent scales called Thāta, it is equally true that rāgas also owe their very presence to the concept of rāgānga. The Thāta-Rāga system of rāga classification, along with the Rāgānga concept, can be considered as the two parents of every rāga. The Hindustani rāga can be said to be either arising out of a Thāta, or being a Rāgānga rāga by using the anga or limb of a main rāga. Alternately, rāgas can use both of the above systems in their grammar, as is mostly the case. But

1 Commonly known as ‘Dashavidha rāga vargikaran’

it never happens that a rāga is present without either of the two systems playing any role whatsoever in its existence.

The Rāgānga-paddhati is essentially a form of classification of the Hindustani rāgas. In the past, there have been several other modes of classification of rāgas, that have been done by ancient, medieval and modern scholars. These may be enumerated thus –

1. Grāma – Murchhanā – Jāti 2. Grāma rāga – Deshi rāga 3. Ten-fold rāga-classification of

Shārangadeva 1 4. Rāga-Rāgini 5. Mela-Rāga 6. Thāta-Rāga 7. Time Theory of Rāgas 2 8. Rāgānga

Of these, the first three came into existence during the ancient period, the fourth and the fifth during the medieval times, while the last three in the modern era of Hindustani classical music, though they had their origins in the ancient and medieval times. In this paper, we shall study in considerable depth, the entire concept of ‘Rāgānga’, right from its origin several centuries earlier, to its modern form. Derivation and definition: If we split the word ‘Rāgānga’, we see that it is a combination of two words – ‘rāga’ + ‘anga’. The most common and oft-quoted definition of Rāga is that of Matanga, who defines it in his Brihaddeshi, thus -

yo S sau dhvanivisheshastu svaravarna vibhushitaha |

ranjako janchittānām sa cha rāga udāhritaha ||

Trans: That which is a special dhwani,3 is bedecked with svara and varna and is colourful or delightful to the minds of the people, is said to be rāga. i

3 Lit. sound

The word ‘anga’ may be described as ‘limb’ or ‘part of a body’. Combining these two words, gives rise to the Hindustani classical musical term of ‘rāgānga’, which may be explained today as ‘a particular group or set of notes, that is derived from a major rāga’. This svara-samooh, or set of notes, is used in a select group of rāgas, which usually have the same or similar set of notes as the parent rāga, from which the anga derives its existence, though it is not a binding rule as such. The rāga, which uses the anga of the main rāga, is known as ‘rāgānga rāga’. Historical background of Rāgānga: The word ‘Rāgānga’ was first mentioned by the ancient scholar Matanga in his Sanskrit text ‘Brihaddeshi’. He says that Rāgānga is a type of Deshi rāga, viz. –

lakshyalakshanasanyuktan trividhan va S pi sanyutam | rāgānga chaiva bhashānga kriyānga cha tritiyakam ||

Trans: (The group of deshi rāgas is that which) embodies the combination of practice (lakshya) and theory (lakshana) and is threefold, viz. rāgānga, bhāshānga and kriyānga as the third one.ii He then describes rāgāngas thus –

uktānān grāmarāgānān chhāyāmātran bhajanti hi | geetagyaiha kathitāha sarve

rāgāngāsten hetunā ||

Trans: All rāgāngas are so called by the experts in music because they bear only a reflection or shadow (chhāya) of the grāma rāgas that have been spoken of. iii In other words, it can be said that rāgāngas are rāgas produced from the angas, admixture or alteration of grāma rāgas. Shārangadeva deals with the subject of rāgānga in the second chapter ‘Rāgavivekādhyāya’ of his voluminous Sanskrit text ‘Sangeet Ratnākar’. In its second section, he says –

4 That is, Shārangadeva

Trans: “Now, the son of Sodhala 4 attempts to establish the identity of the rāgāngas, the bhāshāngas, the kriyāngas and the upāngas on the basis of some of the extant views. Delightfulness is the essence of rāga, and that obtains also among the bhāshās and the rāgāngas, but these four viz rāgāngas etc. are described by way of deshirāgas.” iv Dr. S. Seetha explains the four concepts in the context of these two ancient authors’ writings, thus – “Though mārga rāgas had long become out of vogue, the study of desi rāgas as expounded in Sangeet Ratnākar, reveals that each of these four categories of desi rāgas, is related to the earlier system of mārga rāgas… Matanga explains the development of the three class

of rāgas – rāgānga, bhāshānga and kriyānga, and he has left (out) upānga category, and the reason for the omission, according to Kallinātha, is that these are already implied in the rāgānga rāgas themselves.” She continues – “When the chhāyā or flavour of (a) grāma rāga forms an essential anga or limb, it is a case of rāgānga rāga. The presence of the chhāyā of the bhāshā rāgas as an ingredient, has given rise to the bhāshānga rāgas. Those that are capable of creating the feelings of karuna, shoka, utsāha and so on, are termed kriyānga rāgas. The upāngas are closely allied to the rāgānga, and in a sense, are included in the concept, since they have the affinity of anga chhāyā between them.” v

Shārangadeva mentions the names of rāgāngas under two categories of rāgas –

1. Well-known ancient rāgas –

Shankarābharana, Ghantārava, Hamsaka etc., total eight rāgāngas in number

2. Well-known current rāgas –

Todi, Bhairava, Varāti,

Gurjari, Gauda, etc., total thirteen rāgāngas in number

He then shows a few upāngas to be arising from rāgāngas, thus - Rāgānga

1. Todi Chhāya Todi, Turushka Todi 2. Varāti Kauntali,

Drāvidi, Saindhavi, Upasthānavarātikā Pratāpavarātika

3. Gurjari Mahārāshtri, Saurāshtra, Dakshina, Drāvidi

Shārangadeva is said to have written his Sangeet Ratnākar sometime in the time-period of 1210-47 A.D., i.e. in the 13th century A.D. In the same century was present, one of the greatest poets and musicians of India – Hazrat Amir Khusrau (1253-1325 A.D.), who served in the royal court of Sultan Allauddin Khilji. He introduced Persian music concepts into Indian rāgas to produce new rāgas. This could not have been possible without the knowledge of the ‘anga’ concept. Brought in by the Mohammedans from outside India, this admixture of music of the Islamic nations, namely Persia, with the

traditional Indian rāga music, while presumably incorporating anga-system, gave rise to new rāgas. This can be seen from the mention of Mallār, Todi, Gaud, Kānhadā, Bilāwal etc. rāgas in Sangeet Ratnākar, which gave rise to new rāgas arising out of these at a later date during the medieval period. It is possible that the fusion of the music of two diverse cultures could have started the Rāga-Bheda paddhati. By the time the medieval period started around the 14th century A.D., the ancient melodic form of ‘Jāti’ had gone out of vogue, replaced by the ‘Rāga’, a concept which has stood the test of time over more than 700 years. In the 15th century A.D., we find two clear evidences of the concept of rāgānga being present in some form or the other in Hindustani music. Explaining them, Prof. Krishna Bisht says – “Husain Shāh Sharki, who ruled over Jaunpur (1452-78), was aware of Rāgāngas. Sharki’s twelve varieties of Shyām have been noted in the

5 Also known as Raja Mān Singh Tomar, reigned over the kingdom of Gwalior from 1486-1516 A.D.

second chapter of Faqirullah’s ‘Rāga Darpan’, a Persian work on Indian music written during the reign of Aurangzeb. The varieties of Shyām as found in ‘Rāg Darpan’ are: Gaur Shyām, Shyām Mallār, Bhupāl Shyām, Kinnar Shyām, Sohang Shyām, Purvi Shyām Sampurna, Shyām Rāga, Megha Shyām, Vasant Shyām Sampurna, Shyām Godai and Gaud Shyām. If we include Shuddha Shyām, it will make twelve. In the same chapter under (the heading) ‘Rāgas according to Mān Kutuhal’, some Rāga Bhedas are found. Five varieties of Kānhadā and nine varieties of Nāta are enumerated. Now, the author of ‘Mān Kutuhal’ was Raja Mān Singh Tanwar,5 almost a contemporary of Sharki. This means that the Bheda Paddhati was quite prevalent in the fifteenth century. In the sixteenth century, Bāz Bahādur of Mālwā, and the legendary Tansen too, evolved rāgas following the same system.” vi

The name of Tānsen here is very important, as during this period, the admixture of limbs of various well-known and established rāgas led to the creation of new rāgas, which we call today as ‘Mishra rāgas’. He is credited with the creation of Miyān ki Malhār, wherein he is said to have introduced the Kānhadā angas – ‘Pa ni Pa’ and ‘ga Ma Re Sa’ – in rāga Shuddha Malhār having the āroha-avaroha - Sa Re Ma Pa Dha Sa / Sa Dha Pa Ma Re Sa. It is clear therefore, that in the many varieties of new rāgas that were being created, the role of ‘rāgānga’ as an ingredient, was very important.

Moving further ahead to the 17th century A.D., we find significant work having been done on ‘Rāga-Bheda’ by a Sanskrit scholar - Bhāvbhatt. In Anupa Sangeet Ratnākar, he mentions 16 varieties of Nāta Bheda, 14 varieties of Karnāt 6 Bheda, 13 varieties of Kalyān Bheda, 9 varieties of Todi Bheda, 4 varieties of Sārang Bheda, and so on. It may be inferred that the Rāga Bheda paddhati was the precursor to the modern day Rāgānga paddhati, as the principles

6 Present day Kānhadā

governing them are basically the same. The views of Pt. Vishnu Nārāyan Bhātkhande: We now come down to the 19th-20th century A.D. scholar - Pt. Vishnu Nārāyan Bhātkhande’s views on ‘Rāgānga’. He seems to not have dealt with the subject extensively, yet he has mentioned it somewhat, both directly and indirectly. He defines ‘anga’ thus –

“‘Anga’ that is such a part, which is seen more clearly in rāgas. To leave out a scheduled svara in the āroha of any rāga, to keep the āroha or the avaroha of any (rāga) in a particular manner, to keep the tonal composition of any rāga in a specific way etc.” vii He then says that the all the rāgas of the Kāfi thāta can be classified into 5 angas. They are – Kāfi anga, Dhanāshri anga, Kānhadā anga, Sārang anga and Malhār anga. He then categorizes them thus – Anga Constituent rāgas

In the indirect sense, while formulating the ‘Thāta-Rāga’ paddhati, he has categorized the rāgas under the ten thātas, keeping in mind the Rāgānga system in mind. Nothing else explains the fact more than in the duo of Bhupāli-Deshkār, which has exactly the same notes, viz. Sa Re Ga Pa and Dha. But while he keeps Bhupāli under the Kalyān thāta, he keeps Deshkār under the Bilāwal thāta. This is because Bhupāli uses the Kalyān anga – ‘Pa Re’, which Deshkār does not use. Conversely, Deshkār uses the Bilāwal anga – ‘Dha Ga’ which Bhupāli does not use. In another case, Yamani Bilāwal, the rāga uses teevra madhyam of Yaman (hence the name), but because Bilāwal as an anga is stronger in the rāga, it is kept under the Bilāwal thāta, and therefore, sung in the morning. The views of Pt. Nārāyan Moreshwar Khare on ‘Rāgānga’:

Pt. Nārāyan Moreshwar Khare was one of the foremost disciples of the legendary Hindustani musician and teacher – Pt. Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, and one of the leading lights of the Gwalior gharana. He tried to give shape to the ‘Rāgānga’ paddhati by designating a main rāga as one that has more than one limb or anga, while that rāga which employs the anga(s) of the main rāga, is its ‘Rāgānga rāga’. Pt. Khare expounded his theory in Part-VI of Rāga Vigyān viii, written by Pt. Vināyak Rāo Patwardhan of the same gharana. In it, he speaks at length about the features and advantages of the ‘Rāgānga-paddhati’, after speaking of the drawbacks and limitations of the ‘Thāta-rāga paddhati’ that was the basis for the creation and existence of all rāgas at that time. The following is the translation from Hindi, of the main and important excerpts from his published article – “…Hence, I have come to the conclusion that a “Rāgānga-paddhati” be given shape, which may incorporate all existing and new rāgas with ease. A brief description of this

system is being explained below. The main pillar of any rāga is based on a type of ‘tonal formation’. If we study these tonal formations, then we come to know of the following. Many tonal phrases are independent, from which gives rise to a particular kind of bhāv (emotion) or rasa (aesthetic nectar). In such phrases, the rules of āroha-avaroha, the inter-dependence of vādi-samvādi, their extension, sparse and multiplicity of use are followed properly. In such tonal creations, the notes of the poorvānga are in consonance with those of the uttarānga. Rāgas having such tonal phrases must themselves be known as Rāga. And the rāgas, in which the shadows of these independent rāgas exist, should be known as ‘Rāgānga’. An attempt to classify these independent rāgas and their rāgāngas arising out of these (main rāgas), based on their appropriate phrases, is being done below. The independent rāgas already have their original names; the constituent rāgas arising out of these will be called Rāgānga. I am naming the classification of all

He further explains the concept of Rāgāngas in two points –

"1. It is possible to describe the aforesaid angas even more briefly. For e.g., there can be one group for the rāgāngas of Sārang, Kānhadā and Malhār (rāgas).

2. In many rāgas, the āroha is of one type, i.e. having one (common) anga. Those rāgas too can come under one group. Yet, upon paying attention to the aforesaid groups of rāgas, one will come to know that in every group of rāgas, there is a specific type of rāgānga. It is because of this reason that so many rāgas come under one particular group, and look different from others. In these groups, that rāga is independent, in whose chalan (movement), behaviour or expansion, the rules of vādi-samvādi, alpatva-bahutva and shortening-extending etc. are followed as far as possible. All the rest are its angabhut [i.e. having the main rāga’s limb(s) as common for all, thus being its constituent] rāgas.”

He illustrates the above point, with the example of Bhairav, thus –

“For e.g., Bhairav is an independent rāga and other rāgas of the same group, which

are associated with it, are dependent on it, meaning they are its constituent rāgas. Hence, they must be called ‘Rāgāngarāga’. Rāga Rāmkali is Bhairavānga. Even though, it uses teevra madhyam and komal nishād as a defined practice, yet it is a ‘rāgānga’ rāga by virtue of Bhairava anga being predominant in it. In the same way, Patdeep is a rāgānga rāga due to the dominant presence of Dhanāshri anga, even though it has shuddha nishād in it. Now, it will be prudent to say a few words about anga. In all the rāgas that are prevalent today in Hindustani sangeet, each one of them has its own independent uniqueness. This is what makes each rāga different from the other. This uniqueness is dependent on each particular category’s tonal composition and set of rules. The number of these tonal phrases is not unlimited. Mainly, those tonal phrases that commonly occur in many rāgas, are very limited in mumber. Their numbers are not more than twenty-five or thirty. These tonal phrases appear in the constituent rāgas of the main rāgas in a common manner, and (thus) become an anga, such as Sārang anga. In

the āroha of Des rāga is Sārang, as it is in Sorath. Same is the case in one type of Jaijaiwanti and in the āroha of Jaunpuri. In the same way, it is present in Adānā, Darbāri, Suhā-Nāyaki and Malhār etc too.” Further, he says – “In the same manner, the tonal phrases of specific angas, such as Kalyān anga, Bilāwal anga, Poorvi anga and Shri anga etc., which evoke specific rasas and emotions, I have stated all of these briefly for enhancing the knowledge of the eager learner…” He concludes soon after with the remarks that it is desirable that there be a widespread discussion on the Rāgānga paddhati, wherein the various opinions of the learned scholars can be incorporated, so that this important system can be spread far and wide. The concept of Rāgānga in modern Hindustani rāgas: In modern Hindustani music, the aspect of ‘rāgānga’ has a very important role to play in the concept of rāga. Just as a child has two parents in the

form of a father and a mother, so too can a Hindustani rāga be considered to owe its existence to its parent scale – Thāta, and the parent melody – Rāga, from which it derives its anga(s) and thus becomes its ‘rāgānga rāga’, as stated by Pt. Khare above. The rāgānga rāga uses a set of specific svaras, that has been derived or imported from a major rāga. The former thus becomes that major rāga’s angabhut or constituent rāga. The following may be enumerated as the salient features of the Rāgānga paddhati – 1. Relationship between the

main and its constituent rāgas: The rāga, from which a specific set of svaras is taken out, which is then rechristened as anga, is the ‘mukhya’ / ‘pramukh’ (main) or swatantra (independent) rāga. The rāga, which employs these angas are termed ‘Rāgānga’ or ‘Rāgānga rāgas’.

2. The system of naming a rāgānga rāga:

A rāgānga rāga is named in two ways –

(a) With the name of the

main rāga as suffix – Prominent examples of this aspect are Ahir Bhairav and Shivmat Bhairav carrying the name of the main anga Bhairav as their suffix, or for that matter, Devgiri Bilāwal and Shukla Bilāwal carrying the name of the main rāga Bilāwal.

(b) Without the main rāga’s name as suffix – Carrying the afore-mentioned main rāgas as the same reference points for counter argument, rāga Rāmkali does not carry the name ‘Bhairav’ as its suffix, nor does Deshkār carry the name ‘Bilāwal’.

(c) Having the name of the main rāgas from which the angas are derived – There are rāgas, which carry the name of two main rāgas, whose angas are used, such as Nat

Bhairav, which uses both the Nat anga (Sa Re, Re Ga, Ga Ma) and the Bhairav anga (Ga Ma dha Pa). The question that arises naturally is that why is it not named as ‘Bhairav Nat’? The answer to the system of naming a rāgānga rāga may be considered to be three-fold -

i. The rāgānga rāga can

be named on the basis of which anga is in the purvānga of the rāga and which one is in the uttarānga of that rāga. An apt example of this is Puriyā Kalyān, wherein Puriyā angas – ‘Ga m|a Dha Ga m|a Ga’ and ‘Ni m|a Ga’ are predominantly in the purvānga of the saptak, while the Kalyān phrases – ‘m|a Dha Pa’ and ‘m|a Dha Ni Dha Pa’, are in the uttarānga of the saptak.

ii. A rāgānga rāga can

also be named on the basis of which anga is predominant in the āroha and which one dominates in its avaroha. A case to this

point is Kaunsi Kānhadā,where the Kauns angas – ‘ni ga Sa’ and ‘ga Ma ga Sa’ are used more during ascent, while during descent, the Kānhadā angas – ‘ni Pa’ and ‘ga Ma Re Sa’ are used. Hence, the name Kaunsi Kānhadā.

iii. Some angas like Nat

are not so strong by nature, so while they have a presence, they do not dictate the chalan of the rāga. It is not that every time, one has to ascend, the Nat anga has to be compulsorily be used. Sometimes, it is ignored thus – Sa, Re Ga, Re Ga Ma… or Sa, ReGaMaPa Ga Ma Re Sa. So, Nat anga gives a unique flavour to the rāga, which distinguishes it from other Bhairav anga rāgas.

Some angas on the other hand, have a dominating presence. Bhairav anga is a case to the point. Even as Nat anga is being used

ISSN-2348-5892 Sangitika

22

in the purvānga, the presence of ‘dha’ either in the mandra or in the madhya saptak, as part of the Bhairav anga, is shown from time to time, thus –

Sa Re, Re Ga, Ga Ma S S, Ga Ma dha dha Pa…

or Sa Re, Re Ga Ma Ga Re, Sa Ni (Sa) Ni dha dha Pa, Ga Ma Ni dha dha Sa

Under the above circumstances, the naming of the rāga is determined on the basis of the overall flavour or essence of the rāga, which in this case is that of Bhairav, hence the name – Nat Bhairav. 3. Relationship of a rāgānga

rāga with its thāta: Usually, a rāgānga rāga would be belonging to the same thāta as the main rāga, such as Kedār and Bhupāli employing Kalyān anga and belonging to Kalyān thāta, just as is the case with the main rāga – Yaman. Alternately, there can be rāgas such as Bilāskhāni Todi, which uses the Todi anga of rāga Miyān ki Todi, but in variance with the

above aspect in the same point, Bilāskhāni Todi belongs to Bhairavi thāta, while Miyān ki Todi belongs to Todi thāta.

4. Use of one or more angas

in a rāgānga rāga: A rāgānga rāga may employ just one anga of the main rāga, while others may use more. This is usually determined by – (a) Presence or absence of

the svaras of the main rāga in the rāgānga rāga Let us take the case of Bhairav angas – ‘Ga Ma dha Pa’ and ‘Ga Ma re Sa’. Both these angas are used in Rāmkali, which has ‘re’, ‘Ga’ both madhyams, ‘Pa’, ‘dha’ and both nishāds. Thus, it has the key svaras – ‘re’ and ‘dha’ of Bhairav, enabling it to employ both of the Bhairav angas. On the other hand, is Ahir Bhairav, which uses only the anga - ‘Ga Ma re Sa’, because it uses ‘Dha’ in the uttarānga, which does not allow the use of the other

23

anga of Bhairav. Similar is the case of Nat Bhairav, which uses just the anga – ‘Ga Ma dha Pa’, as it uses ‘Re’ in the purvānga.

(b) Chalan of the rāgānga

rāga, which may prohibit the use of more angas of the same rāga

Let us take Kāmod as an example. It uses both the madhyams, while the rest of the svaras are shuddha. Shuddha madhyam is used as a kan svara for Re while ascending – ‘Sa Ma

Re Pa’, and is part of the Hameer anga – ‘Ga Ma Dha Pa’, and Kāmod anga – ‘Ga Ma Pa Ga Ma Re Sa’. That however does not mean that teevra madhyam is weak in any way. It is used as part of the Kalyān angas – ‘m|a Pa Dha Pa’ and ‘Dha m|a Pa’. There is another Kalyān anga that is used – ‘PaDhaPaPa Sa’.

But the rāga does not use one of the main Kalyān angas – ‘Pa Ga

Re’ or ‘Pa Re Ga’. That is because of the chalan of the rāga, where in the purvānga, Kāmod anga, as also the phrase ‘Ga Ma Re Sa’, has a dominating presence in the avaroha.

Thus, the chalan of Kāmod is such that not all the Kalyān angas are used, even though the notes of the rāga are basically the same as that of the main rāga Kalyān or Yaman. 5. Use of different angas to

differentiate rāgas with the same or similar svaras:

Just because two rāgas have the same or similar set of svaras, it does not imply that one will have to use the anga of the other. For e.g., Mārvā and Puriyā have the same set of svaras – Sa, re, Ga, m|a, Dha and Ni. Yet, Mārvā and Puriyā are independent rāgas, whose angas are used by other rāgas. This is because even with the same svaras, the vādi-samvādi of Mārvā are ‘re-Dha’, while those of Puriyā are ‘Ga-Ni’. This emphasis on the main svaras is seen in the Mārvā angas – ‘re Ni Dha’ and ‘Dha m|a Ga re’, while the Puriyā angas are mainly – ‘Ni m|a Ga’ and ‘Ga m|a Dha Ga m|a Ga’. Another example is the duo of Bhupāli-Deshkār, which have the same set of svaras – Sa, Re, Ga, Pa and Dha.

24

But while Bhupāli uses Kalyān angas – ‘Pa Re Ga’ and ‘Pa Dha Pa Sa’, Deshkār uses Bilāwal anga – ‘Dha Ga’. Of course, there are other differences too, such as those in vādi-samvādi, nyāsa svaras, singing time, omitted svaras, and so on. But the difference in anga is an important factor that distinguishes two rāgas with the same or similar svaras.

6. Distinguishing similar

rāgas of the same group on the basis of different angas: A rāgānga rāga may use one or more angas of only one rāga, while another similar rāgānga rāga of the same anga group can use various angas, i.e. angas belonging to other main rāgas too. For e.g., the rāgas Darbāri Kānhadā and Kaunsi Kānhadā belong to the Kānhadā anga or group of rāgas. Both have the same set of svaras – Sa, Re, ga, Ma, Pa, dha and ni. Both use the Kānhadā angas – ‘ni Pa’ and ‘ga Ma Re Sa’. But where the two are differentiated is that Kaunsi

Kānhadā also uses the Kauns angas – ‘ni ga Sa’, and ‘ga Ma ga Sa’, which Darbāri does not use. So, even though both the rāgas belong to the same group, i.e. Kānhadā, there is no bar on its constituent rāga, in this case Kaunsi Kānhadā, using the anga(s) of another major rāga, i.e. Mālkauns, to establish its format.

7. Differentiating similar

rāgas due to tonal embellishments on the same anga: It is not necessary that an anga is used in exactly the same way, as in the main rāga, and its rāgānga rāga, or for that matter, in two similar rāgānga rāgas. This is primarily due to the use of a tonal embellishment, or its lack of use, and sometimes, the difference in the use. This point may be explained thus, on the basis of the use of the following embellishments – i. Ᾱndolan – Prime example in this is that of the similar duo of Bhairav and Rāmkali, both of which are Bhairav anga rāgas. In Bhairav, the notes ‘re’ and

25

‘dha’ are taken with an āndolan (swing) –

ii. Ga Ma ni dha ni dha Pa… and… Ga Ma Ga re ga re Sa

iii. But these two phrases are taken in Rāmkali without any āndolan on either ‘re’ or ‘dha’. That is because an āndolan on a svara signifies ‘gambhir’ or serious nature of the rāga, which Bhairav is. Rāmkali, on the other hand, is comparatively less serious, due to the presence of the phrases containing ‘m|a’ and ‘ni’ in the uttarānga of the rāga, namely ‘m|a Pa dha ni dha Pa’. It has elements of ‘chanchalta’ or playfulness in it. A mental picture of Bhairav would suggest Lord Shiva on Mt. Kailash in a deep meditative pose, while in Rāmkali, the same Shiva is meditating in the purvānga of the rāga, while in the uttarānga, his son – Bāl Ganesh, is in his naughty and playful elements, making it a less serious rāga than Bhairav.

iv. In the same vein, the Kānhadā phrase – ‘ga Ma Re Sa’ is taken in a

lengthier swinging manner in Darbāri Kānhadā, while in Adānā, it is taken in a fast and straight manner.

v. Nyāsa – Here, we may again take the duo of Darbāri Kānhadā and Adānā, both of which are Kānhadā anga rāgas. Both have Pa as the common nyāsa svara, where pause is made in the twin phrases – ‘Sa dha ni Pa’ and ‘Sa Pa ni Pa’. But whereas, in Darbāri, nyāsa on Pa is slow and prolonged because of its serious nature, pause on Pa in Adānā is much shorter in duration.

vi. Meend – Both Miyān ki

Malhār and Gaud Malhār use the common Malhār anga

Ma Re Ma Re Pa. But in Miyān ki Malhār, the meend between Re and Pa is slow and prolonged, due to the gambhir nature of the rāga, but in Gaud Malhār, the meend is much shortened, due to it being less serious in its chalan, i.e. movement, due to the

26

presence of the Gaud anga - ‘Ga Re Ma Ga’ and Gaud Malhār’s own unique phrase – ‘Sa, ReGaMa Ga Ma’, both of which are somewhat chanchal by nature.

vii. Gamak – The rāgas Megh and Madhamād Sārang have exactly the same set of svaras, i.e. Sa, Re, Ma, Pa and ni. Megh is a Malhār anga rāga, while Madhamād Sārang, as the very name suggests, is a Sārang anga rāga. But the use of gamak in Megh is very pronounced, whereas it is totally absent in Madhamād Sārang. This may be illustrated thus –

The use of the phrase - Sa ni Pa Ma Re - in Madhamād Sārang, is such that gamak is absent, while the same phrase is performed in Megh in this way - Sa Pa ni Pa Ma Re, with a pronounced gamak not just on ‘ni’, but also on Ma.

viii. Murki – We may take

the examples of Hameer and Kāmod here. The Hameer anga – ‘Ga Ma Dha Pa’ is taken in Hameer thus –

(Pa) Ga Ma Ni

Dha…and…Pa Ga Ma Dha Pa Here, in the first phrase, there is a murki on Pa, while in the next, the murki is absent. But in Kāmod, the same phrase is always taken without murki, thus –

Sa Re Pa, m|a Pa Dha Pa, Ga Ma Dha Pa…

ix. Laya – This refers to tempo, not of tāla, as is usually the case, when we use this term, but of the rāga itself, i.e. the speed at which the notes are used in it. In most of the rāgas mentioned under the x. point of embellishments separating allied rāgas, one factor, that stands out and differentiates such rāgas, is the pace at which the rāgas, having the same or similar svaras, and employing the same angas, are sung. For e.g., Rāmkali is sung at a comparatively less slow pace than Bhairav. Gaud Malhār has a comparatively faster tempo than Miyān ki Malhār. The same can be said also about Madhamād Sārang being faster in pace than Megh, as is Adāna bearing a faster

27

tempo than Darbāri Kānhadā. Another example is that of Poorvi and Paraj, which use the identical set of notes, viz. Sa, re, Ga, both madhyam, Pa, dha and Ni. Poorvi being a gambhir rāga, is sung in a slow and deliberate manner, while Paraj being a chanchal rāga, is sung at a faster pace. The Poorvi anga – ‘Pa m|a Ga Ma Ga’ is taken in a slow and measured manner in Poorvi, but is sung in a fast manner in Paraj.

same anga: The anga of the main rāga can be used in two ways in a rāgānga rāga – (a) The anga having both the same svara arrangement and tonal composition as that of the parent rāga –

What this means is that the notes of an anga of the main rāga, are used exactly as it is in the rāgānga rāga. In other words, both the arrangement of the svaras

of the anga, as well as the shuddhatva or vikritatva of the svaras of that anga, is not disturbed in any way when used in the rāgānga rāga. For e.g., the main Todi anga is – ‘re ga re Sa’. It is used as it is, without any alteration, in the angabhut or rāgānga rāgas such as Bahāduri Todi and Bhupāl Todi. Similarly, Mārvā anga - ‘m|a Dha Sa’ - is used unaltered in rāga Bhatiyār. As can be seen in both these cases, the original svaras are not disturbed in any way.

(b) The anga with the same svara arrangement, but a different tonal composition –

In this case, the tonal sequence of the svaras, i.e. the order of their placement, remain the same, but the shuddhatva or vikritatva of the svara(s) is altered. Taking the above two main rāgas – Todi and Mārvā as reference points, we see that the svaras of the aforementioned Todi anga are altered when used in the rāga Deshi Todi, thus – Re ga Re Sa Re…. Here, Rishabh has been changed

from komal to shuddha, while keeping the arrangement of the notes the same as that of the Todi anga.

The same principle is applied to the twin angas of Mārvā – ‘re Ni Dha’ and ‘Dha m|a Ga re’, when they are used in Gurjari Todi, thus – ‘re Ni dha’ and ‘dha m|a ga re’. Similarly, Puriyā anga – ‘Ga m|a Dha Ga m|a Ga’ – is used in rāga Basant, thus - ‘Ga m|a dha Ga m|a Ga’.

Yet another example of this

is the rāga Bhupāl Todi. As the name itself suggests, it is a combination of the rāga Bhupāli and the anga of Todi. The āroha-avaroha of the rāga is – Sa re ga Pa dha Sa / Sa dha Pa ga re Sa. The tonal structure, as we can see, is the same as that of rāga Bhupāli, the only difference being that the shuddha notes - Re, Ga and Dha - of Bhupāli, have been replaced with their komal variants, taken from the Bhairavi thāta. Also, Todi anga – ‘re ga re Sa’ is used; thus, comes the rāga Bhupāl Todi into existence.

9. Role of the rāgānga system in the creation of mishra rāgas: The concept of Rāgānga, has a very important role to play in the creation of new rāgas. These new rāgas, more often than not, employ one anga or the other. They are known as ‘Mishra’ or ‘Mishrit’ rāgas. They can be created in two ways – (a) Admixture of an anga with the svaras of a thāta A prime example of the above procedure of creating a new rāga, is Ahir Bhairav, where the notes of the Kāfi thāta - Ma Pa Dha ni Sa - have been mixed with those of Bhairav. The presence of Bhairav anga – Ga Ma re Sa – in the purvānga, completes the rāga. The rāga thus looks like – Sa, re, Ga Ma, Pa, Dha ni Sa / Sa, ni Dha Pa, Ma, Ga Ma re Sa

(b) Addition of one or more angas belonging to different rāgas

A famous example of this is Miyān ki Malhār, created

by the legendary Tansen. It was created by the addition of the Kānhadā angas – ‘Sa Pa ni Pa’ and ‘ga Ma Re Sa’ to the Malhār anga – Ma Re Pa – the latter being taken with a meend or glide between Re and Pa. The complete picture that forms is thus –

Sa, Ma Re Ma Re Pa, Ma Pa ni Dha ni Dha Ni Sa, Sa Dha ni Pa (or) Sa Pa ni Pa, Ma ga Ma ga Ma Re, Re Sa

10. The influence of an anga

on a rāga’s time of performance:

An anga of the main rāga determines the time of singing of its constituent rāgas, by virtue of the time of performance of the main rāga. In other words, both the main rāga, from which the anga is derived, and its constituent rāgas, are more or less, performed in the same time. There are many examples to illustrate this point. Let us see them. i. Prātahakālin sandhiprakāsh (from 4-7 a.m.) – In this period, Bhairav is sung and so are the Bhairav anga rāgas like

Rāmkali, Ahir Bhairav, Nat Bhairav, Prabhāt Bhairav, Ᾱnand Bhairav etc.

ii. First prahar of the day

(from 7-10 a.m.) – In this, Bilāwal anga rāgas are performed, such as Alhaiya Bilāwal, Yamani Bilāwal, Devgiri Bilāwal, Kukubh Bilāwal, Deshkār etc.

iii. Second prahar of the

day (from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.) – Here, Ᾱsāwari anga rāgas like Ᾱsāwari, Jaunpuri, Komal Rishabh Ᾱsāwari, Dev Gāndhār, Gāndhāri etc are sung. In the same time-period, Todi anga rāgas are also performed, such as Miyān ki Todi, Gurjari Todi, Bilāskhāni Todi, Bhupāl Todi, Bahāduri Todi etc.

iv. Third prahar of the day (from 1-4 p.m.) – In this, Sārang anga rāgas are sung, such as Vrindāvani Sārang, Shuddha Sārang, Madhamād Sārang, Badahansa Sārang etc.

v. Sāyankālin

sandhiprakāsh (from 4-7 p.m.) – In this period, Puriyā anga rāgas like

Puriyā and Puriyākalyān are sung.

vi. First prahar of the night

(from 7-10 p.m.) – In this, Kalyān anga rāgas are sung, such as Yaman, Bhupāli, Kedār, Kāmod, Chhāyānat etc. are performed. Also, in the same time zone of performance are the Bihāg anga rāgas, such as Bihāg, Māru Bihāg, Bihāgdā, Nand etc.

vii. Second prahar of the

night (from 10 p.m. – 1 a.m.) – In this period, Kānhadā anga rāgas are performed, such as Darbāri Kānhadā, Kausi Kānhadā, Nāyaki Kānhadā etc.

viii. Rainy season – During

the months of monsoon or Rainy season in India, ranging from June to September (depending on which part of the country one resides in), the Malhār anga rāgas are performed, such as Miyān ki Malhār, Megh Malhār, Rāmdāsi Malhār, Soor Malhār etc.

ix. Spring season – With the end of the winter season, especially in the north of India, the performance of the varieties of Basant and Bahār rāgas start, such as Basant, Bahār, Basant Bahār, Hindol Bahār etc. These are sung in the season of Basant or the Spring season, which falls mainly in February and March.

Thus, we can see that the performance of the rāgānga rāgas of a particular anga is clubbed together in a common time period. Conclusion: At the end of our discussion, we may conclude that the concept of ‘Rāgānga’ is a mode of classification of Hindustani rāgas, that has its origin in the ancient times, as found in the writings of Matanga and Shārangadeva. The former has explained Rāgāngas as being the shadows of grāma rāgas. This is quite similar to the present notion of the concept, wherein the rāgānga rāga carries one or more angas or limbs of one or more main rāgas, thus often having an

admixture of angas as part of its grammatical structure. The rāgānga rāga, therefore, owes its existence to not just the Thāta, that is the parent scale, but also the anga(s) of the main rāga(s). For a student of Hindustani classical music, it is very important to understand the rāgānga-paddhati, in order to learn a rāga in its entirety. It makes the learning of a new rāga much easier if he is aware of the tonal composition of the angas that are used in that rāga. For e.g., at the time of starting to learn Gaud Malhār, if he knows beforehand the following – 1. what Gaud anga is (Ga Re

Ma Ga) 2. what Malhār anga is (Ma Re

Ma Re Pa or Ma Re Pa) 3. what is the tonal shape of

Shuddha Malhār (MaPaDhaSa S S DhaPaMa Pa Ma)

4. what are the two descent phrases in the uttarānga of Miyān ki Malhār, of which one is used (Sa Dha ni Pa)

5. what is the characteristic tonal phrase 7 of the rāga itself (Sa ReGaMa Ga Ma)

7 Also known as ‘vishishta svara samudāya’

then, it becomes much easier for him to learn Gaud Malhār. All he then has to do, is to learn from his guru, how to sing or perform these angas along with the svaras of the rāga, what should be the pace of the ālāpa, what all embellishments must he use and the high or low frequency of their use, and how these angas would help him to differentiate the rāga from another Malhār rāga, such as Miyān ki Malhār. The syllabus of an educational institution can play a crucial role in imparting proper training of rāgānga. Introducing the concept at the postgraduate level, when a student is fairly mature, can make him understand the concept better, as also teach him how these angas must be used. For e.g., the Department of Music, University of Delhi, has the topic of rāgānga in the theory of M.A. (Previous), and deals with the practical aspect of it extensively in the M.Phil programme, wherein the rāgas are taught according to their angas, and on the basis of a further classification of prachalit (prevalent) and aprachalit (not-so-prevalent)

rāgānga rāgas. That is not to say that the rāgas are otherwise taught without explaining the ingredient of anga that constitutes the grammatical composition of a rāga. The same holds true for a Guru too, for he too must explain the significance, relevance and use

of each anga, when he teaches a rāga. Only then will a student / pupil properly understand how a rāga must be performed, after understanding the role of a rāga’s anga(s) in it.

IMPRESSION OF RARE RAGAS IN INDIAN FILM MUSIC Priyadarshini.R

University of Mysore

Music is an integral part of Indian films and is associated in all phases on cinematic development. Commercial Indian films are melodramatic with different characters, exaggerated emotions, feelings and sentiments. Classical Ragas have been playing a major role in Indian films in its ability to invoke emotions. Indian film music from the early days has been having a heavy influence of Classical Music and its ragas in its creation. Raga is the melodic amalgamation of musical notes and the character of a Raga is defined by Rasa, or it's kind of emotion. Rasa encloses an extensive gamut of emotional expressions with specific notes assigned for its interpretation. The usage of ragas in Indian cinema have been metamorphosing with films and Directors.

There are many fascinating aspects to discover how Music Directors have used ragas in their musical compositions to evoke the desired mood of the film situation and embellish it aesthetically. They have blended the ragas with musical concepts from other parts of the

world like harmony, chords etc. and created absolute magic out of it. Large orchestras diffusing Indian musical instruments like sitar, veena, sarod, tabla, mridangam etc., along with instruments from the West like the guitar, accordion, violins, saxophones, drums etc. This article brings to light how the use of rare ragas in Indian Film Music has created immense appeal and how genius Directors have used ragas according to the suitable theme required for the movies. Paavani Raga belongs to the 41st Melakarta Raga of the Carnatic Raga classification system. The Song ‘Partha vizhi paarthabadi’ from Tamil movie ‘Guna’ composed by Music Director Illayaraja, sung by KJ Yesudas shows strong usage of this raga. Not many film songs are available in this raga. The situation showcases Actor Kamalhassan portraying the role of psychiatric patient, sees the heroine at a temple and instantly falls in love with her. The opening Chorus vocals ‘charanam charanam' is set around the notes Shadja, Shuddha Rishabha and

Shuddha Gandhara which sends a thrill in your perceptual apparatus. The clear phrase of ‘Paartha vizhi Paarthapadi’ beginning with swaras ‘P,PMGRS’ in the pallavi establishes the raga effectively, exhibiting beauty of vivaadhi swaras in the raga. It further moves on to ‘oon uruga uyir uruga’ PPP PSNDP phrase which further gives firm presence of the raga. Legendary Music Director MS Viswanathan has handled a rare raga Mahathi in his film ‘Aboorva Raagangal’. It is said that he desired to use a rare raga for his song as the film title’s meaning demanded ‘Rare Ragas’. He composed the famous song ‘Adhisaya Ragam’ in Rag Mahathi sung by KJ Yesudas. The veena interludes right before the first charanam is pleasing and carries the phrase ‘GPNS GSGSNP, GPNS SGSGS’ which is crucial in identifying this raga. This raga discovered by Musical Genius Dr M Balamuralikrishna has just four notes Shadjam, Antara Gandharam, Panchamam and Kaisiki Nishadam in it.

Raga Rishabhapriya, 62nd Melakarta raga, rare not often handled in Carnatic music has

been effectively used for various moods in Films. A beautiful melody ‘Aacharavillada nalige’ from Kannada Movie ‘Upasane’ by Music Director VijayBhaskar tuned to the meaningful lyrics of Saint Purandara Dasa, Sung by S Janaki uses this raga purely and effectively. This song matches the situation of a person criticising the heroine, and she moves on to convey moral values through this song. The opening Veena piece stands out and ‘Acharavillada naalige ninna neecha buddhiya bidu nalige’ ‘S,NDPPPPPDMP PPD’ with characteristic gamaka at Dhaivatha ‘PDN NND PMG GRSSRRG’ clearly establishes the raga.

In Tamil movie ‘Mandira Punnagai’ Composed and Sung by Illayaraja, the song ‘Kaali Perungaya Dappa Adhula Vasana bhalamathan irukku’’ ‘RGGRGGR,S SSS PDNDNDND PPP’, the phrase ‘Ada Vazhkai Enbadhum dhegam Enbadhum Onnum illa’ ‘S PPPP MMMM GGGG RGSR’ this raga is established evidently. This song illustrates the usage of exotic scales efficaciously to make film music different and interesting. This song involves situation of Hero as a booze enthusiast

showing distress in life. Another beautiful melody of Purandara Dasa’s Lyrics ‘Aacharavillada nalige’ from Kannada Movie ‘Upasane’ by Music Director VijayaBhaskar, Sung by S Janaki uses this raga purely and effectively.

Hindustani Classical raga Tilak Kamod derived from Khamaj Thaat having oblique movements, Sa and Pa as strong notes, Ga and Dha omitted in ascent has played important role in Indian Film Music. One of the latest song ‘Aaoge Jab Tum O Sajana Angna Phool kilenge’ from Hindi movie ‘Jab We Met’ composed by Sandesh Sandilya, Sung by Ustad Rashid Khan incorporates the usage of ‘SPNNSS SS GSSN MMMGR RGSN SS’ the important phrases of the raga with swara patterns ‘PNSRMMG GGSN NRGRND NRN MDND’ which shows the deft handling of this raga. Other songs in this raga, ‘Teri Yaad Dil Se Bhulane’ from Hariyali Rasta by Music Directors Shankar - Jaikishan, Humne Tujhko Pyar Kiya Hai from Dulha Dulhan by Music Directors Kalyanji-Anandji shows how effectively this raga is used in Indian Film Music.

This raga has made its way into South Indian Film Music too. The Tamil Song ‘Mouname parvayaal’ brings the subtle impression of Tilak Kamod. The opening sitar and strings brings a beautiful melody of the raga with phrase ‘Mouname parvayaal oru paatu padavendum Naaname jadaiyaal oru vaarthai pesavendum’ ‘GRPMG RGRS NS RRRR SNPNS GRSS SSNSRS NRSS’ and drifting to the last line of the charana ‘yennai alli choodi konduvidavendum’ ‘SN PP NSGR SSSS’ which shows the raga been used with great precision. Bilaskhani Todi, a Hindustani Raga with Madhyam and Nishad Varj in Aaroh, Pancham Varj in Avroh, Komal Rishabh, Gandhar, Dhaivat and Nishad and rest being all Shuddha Swaras has made its entry into the South Indian Film music. Many hit songs by Music Director MS Viswanathan were based on this Raga. The first song he composed in this raga was from the blockbuster hit movie ‘Nichaya Thamboolam’, song ‘Padaithaney Padaithaney’ ‘SRGG GRSR GRSR NSNDNS’ making notice the innate bhava of this raga. The haunting song

‘Thereyedhu’ from the movie ‘Paasam’, a philosophical film song ‘Satti Suttadhadaa Kai Vittadhadaa’ from the hit film, ‘Alayamani’ with Sivaji Ganesan are few other striking examples.

Srothaswini raga has been expounded well in ‘Poojaiketha Poovithu nethu thane poothathu’ from Tamil Movie ‘Needhana Andha Kuyil’. It opens with a beautiful flute piece, goes on to ‘Poojaiketha Poovidhu Nethu thaane poothathu’ ‘SGMPMGSN’, with the Srothaswini raga signature following ‘Ada Poothadhu yaar adha paarthadhu’ ‘NNN,SS GGG NSS’ clearly establishing this raga. Another example would be ‘Sindhiya Venmani’ from Tamil movie ‘Poonthota kavalkaran’ by Music Director Illayaraja, Sung by KJ Yesudas. Other songs in raga Srothaswini include ‘O Vasantha Raja’ by Music Director Illayaraja, Telugu song ‘Suman Prathi’ from Movie ‘Maharshi’,’Jai Chirangeeva’ from ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Atiloka Sundari’ ‘Inka Inka’ from ‘Sundarakanda’ are also set to this raga. Srothaswini is handled very beautifully in the Pallavi of very popular song ‘Raa Raa’ by Music Director Vidhyasagar from Blockbuster

hit movie ‘Chandramukhi’. The phrase ‘Praaname Needhira Yeluko Raadharaa Shwasalo Shwaasavai Raa Raa’ ‘MPPMP MPMMG MPPMP MPSNP GPM SMG GSSN’ clearly defines the usage of this raga in it.

Raga Malgunji is a rare Hindustani classical raga which portrays many emotions including pure love, the desperate wait and also sad moments. The song ‘Ghar Aaja Ghir Aaye’ is brilliant composition in this raga from RD Burman’s first movie as a Music Director. There is a inherent tinge of sadness in Raga Malgunji that comes through beautifully in this song ‘Jeevan ke Bhari’ from the movie ‘Safar’ composed by Kalyanji Anandji. Everything about this song seems to be perfect including intro sitar piece,the end piece,interludes, soft rhythm and emotional singing by Kishore Kumar. The opening phrase ‘RG1MG1RSS SG1RN1DS DNSG2MD DNSNDD G2MPG1RR’ uses both Shuddh and Komal Gandhars. This raga’s complete treat is given by Music Director MS Viswanathan in the Film ‘Ramu’, Song ‘Nilave ennidam nerungade’ in which pain is inherent, right from the pallavi

‘DNSMMMG GMGRGRS SSRGR SRND DNSS’ a best example of raag Malgunji. The entire tune, the interludes are studded with typical phrases of the raaga. The heart-wrenching song which captures the thoughts of a girl’s ex-lover ‘Unko yeh shikayat hai’ from Hindi Movie ‘Adalat’ by Music Director Madan Mohan is also a good example of this raga based film song. This raga is musically depicted in song ‘Naa Jiya Lage Naa’ from Blockbuster movie ‘Anand’ Music by Salil Choudary, sung by Lata Mangeshkar brings out the feeling of a woman’s despair to meet her lover after long time, the hunger of love.

Raga Behag, though a common raga in Hindustani Classical Music is used rarely in Indian Film Music. It has Shadj, Shudh Rishab, Shuddha Gandhar, both Shuddh & Teevra Madyams, Pancham, Shuddh Dhaivat and Nishadh swaras. ‘Yen Praana Nayakane’ from the Malayalam film Pareeksha, is a romantic, racy song in Behag that touches the right chords and lingers back in your heart and the bhakti laden Malayalam song ‘Naava Mukunda Hare,’ from the film Desadanam makes one experience the divine feel of the raga. The song from Malayalam

Movie ‘Oru Kadha Oru Nunukkadha’ ‘Ariyaathe ariyaathe’ ‘PMGMG PGSN’ by Music Director Johnson are few examples of Behag used in films that simply melts one’s heart.

‘Thiruvaai mozhi azhaga’ from Tamil Movie ‘Naan Than Bala’ by Music Director Venkat Krishi, sung by Author Priyadarshini herself, is another example how this raga can be used to evoke devotion and tranquility. The phrase ‘Thiruvaai mozhi azhaga senkamala vizhi azhaga varuvaai valai osai varavendum vaasalukke’ ‘PMPGMGMG PMPP PPGMGRS SSG GMRS SSGM PGMG’ establishes the impression of Behag. ‘Endhan uyir kaadhalan’ from Tamil movie ‘Iravum Pagalum’ is another good example of Film Song based in raga Behag. The Kannada film ‘Sanadi Appanna’ created a landmark in the history of Kannada cinema. Legendary Music Director G.K. Venkatesh’s highly captivating song ‘Karedaru kelade’, sung by S Janaki is based on Behag. The Shehnai Bit is played by Ustad Bismillah Khan who flew down to Chennai all the way from Varanasi to play for this

song. The phrase ‘NSNP GMG RGRSN SG SGM MDM MDM MDNS’ makes the raga stamp evident. There is long, enchanting interludes played by the Ustad for which Legendary Actor Dr.Rajkumar who portrays the character of Shehnai player in the song, mastered the shehnai-wielding technique from the Ustad himself to understand the method of holding the instrument in the film. Another Kannada Film Song ‘Shruthi Seride’ from 'Shruthi Seridaga' is also Behag based Film Song. Telugu song ‘Varamosage Vanamaali’ from movie, ’Bhakta Prahlada’ composed by Saluri Rajeshwara Rao, sung by Dr M Balamuralikrishna is also a striking melody in this raga. Melodious Songs in Behag which has ability to portray the depth of sublime emotion include ‘Tere Pyar Mein Dildar’ from Hindi Movie ‘Mere Mehboob’ by Music Director Naushad, Sung by Lata

Mangeshkar, ‘Tere Sur Aur Mere Geet’ in ‘Goonj Uthi Shehnai’ by Music Director Vasant Desai in which the shehnai is played by none other than the great Ustad Bismillah Khan saheb. Music Director Shankar Jaikishan’s ‘Tujhe Jeevan ki door se band liya hai’ ‘SS SGM PP NN NDNSNDP’ from ‘Asli Naqli’ and ‘Zindagi Ke Safar’ from ‘Aap Ki Kasam’, by Music Director R D Burman are few Behag based film songs. Music in Indian films has been changing incessantly, Directors adopting new styles and displaying it in their own style keeps music alive amongst the audience. Right from the beginning of the Film Industry Music Directors have continued to innovate, by combining elements of ragas with fast-paced rhythm and lyrics that appeal to the masses. These rare ragas have added a new flavour to its situation or scene in the movie.
